Franky Wah makes his debut with a suitably epic original and teams up with El Maestro for an interesting collaboration project.

Very much a product of the modern age, where artists are in fact multitasking entrepreneurs, Franky has shot into the  music scene with savvy business practice and the musical skills to back it up. Setting up his own brand, SHÉN; a label, events company and clothing offshoot, has given him a base to get exposure and thus, release on a cross section of labels from seminal underground strongholds, Anjunabeat to Bedrock to LNOE to Major labels like EMI and Polydor.

His opener, a solo effort, has been collecting massive reactions from the clubs - as certified by the very own Hernan Cattaneo, eager supporter of the track. ‘Riptide’ does exactly that from the off. Groovy, understated but quietly deadly, once the vibe grabs hold, it’s almost impossible to resist. Developing over the first section, slowly at first, but then increasingly quickly as the tension builds, Franky drops a killer track that will pique everyone's interest.

For their collaboration, Franky and Hernan present the uptempo monster, Groovejet. Pulsating, energetic and just a little dark, this is everything you’d expect from the master at peak time with the whole club in the palm of his hand. This years Scorchio for sure!

The incredible Henry Saiz makes a welcome return to the label with a spectacular double header.

Just the mere mention of his name sends dance music fans into raptures. Henry Saiz is at the pinnacle of the scene; signed to everyone worth a damn, soundtracking festivals, clubs and beyond across the globe. Behind the scenes, as a radio presenter, director and label head at Natura Sonoris, he's hard at work: a real musical hero with a humble manner and Latin ease that fans are drawn to in their droves.

Opening with 'Redes', muted beats develop into multi-textured flavours that reveal Henry's kaleidoscopic sound to perfection. Finding that balance between melodics and percussion, 'Redes' tells a story through sound as only he can. Delicate and detailed, you'll be hitting that repeat button every time.

'The Quest' begins slowly, entering the dance tentatively. Building in confidence, the beats hit with added weight as new melodies and percussive layers draw you in. Developing throughout, this is another example of a world-class artist at the height of his powers having the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Just sensational.

Subandrio makes a welcome return to the label with an astounding trio of treats. 

The Sri Lankan artist has been at the top of his game for over a decade, and shows no signs of slowing down. Beginning his international journey in 2014 with an EP for Lowbit Records, Subandrio's silky style has lit up dancefloors globally. Now signed to a bewildering array of labels including Vapour, Mango Alley and Juicebox Music, Subandrio has gained years of experience, winning accolades along the way with an unrivalled musical diversity as producer, remixer and performer.

Opening with 'Heritage 82', Warm bass tones and driving percussive underbelly instantly hooks in. Muscular rhythms and ear candy sonics keep you firmly on the dance floor as this epic journey reveals its secrets with patience and class. 

Next up, 'Morph into the Sun' continues apace. Driving rhythms, snappy hats and machine funk melodies all combine effortlessly. Pushing forward to the first break, the track swerves into new territory. Dark sweeps and pulsating melodies draw out the tension before the main break prepares us for the drop. Absolutely flawless. 

Finally, Subandrio rounds the EP out with the suitably named 'Karnage'. Stripped back drums make way for the bubbling acid bass and scratchy FX, and percussive intensity. Very much a late night treat that teases the tension, this is the perfect pre-peak bruiser to get the floor ready for an audio onslaught.

Alex O’Rion returns to the label with an astonishing double header. 

A purveyor of the finest progressive beats for some time, Alex’s back catalogue speaks volumes with some of the most influential releases of the last decade.

As a DJ, he’s travelled the world and this year set up his own label, Solis Music, as well as an agency and events brand to further spread the gospel of O’Rion. 

A business brain as much as a creative genius, Alex is far from pushing the boundaries of the scene. 

'Atlas' is a powerful intensifying slab of melodic goodness, with its intense energy, and infectious groove, this is a real power driver!

Taking things moodier, and darker, we find the tripped out 'Dirk', with its tense vibes, for when you need some added 'oomph' for your dance floor.

John Cosani returns to the label with a trio of treats. 

Born of a love of all music, the naturally talented Argentinian has become one of progressive house’s unsung heroes. Captivating crowds from Buenos Aires to Melbourne, John’s deep passion transcends his humble beginnings as a resident DJ. Signed to onedotsixtwo, Warung and more, his sound is unmistakable. 

Opening the EP with ‘Snano’, tough, rumbling bass and sparse percussions give way to detailed sonics and a dark hook that grooves with unencumbered joy. Mutating over the break with filters, the tension rises for a massive second half; the dancefloor a mass of gyrating bodies and warm smiles. 

Next up, ‘Idid’ builds and builds and builds. The perfect mid-set bruiser, warm sweeps and spoken words set the stage as aquatic synths draw you in - deep trance at its finest.  The ebbs and flows never lose their heads, and never become repetitive. A work of genius. 

Finally, ‘Habana’ rounds out the pack in fine form. More percussive than the others, touches of samba add sophistication. Spiky synths mark time as wild analogue arps and vocal ad libs  take the dance floor into ecstasy. Deep, satisfying and utter devastating from the master craftsman.

Cass and Baunder drop some serious heat with fresh remixes of Danny Tenaglia x Cass & Slide’s iconic ‘Fever Rising’.

Originally crafted by the legendary Danny Tenaglia and released on Cass and Lee Burridge’s FIRE Recordings back in 2001, ‘Fever Rising’ stood tall as one of the defining tracks of progressive house’s golden era. A dance floor weapon supported by heavyweights like Sasha, John Digweed, and Tenaglia himself, its tough drums and dark sonics perfectly embodied the underground spirit that ruled the clubs of that time.

First up, the ever-reliable Baunder injects his trademark silky grooves into this classic, updating the drums without losing that tribal essence. Playful melodics weave around the hypnotic vocal, creating a timeless blend of energy and emotion.

Next, Cass Cutbush steps in with two fresh versions. His 4by4 mix channels the raw drive of early-2000s prog, with subtle shifts and an epic main break that pays homage to the scene he helped shape. On the breakbeat version, Cass explores a more emotional side wistful, hopeful, and beautifully melancholic.

Four Candles and Kabi (AR) team up on the ‘Sofa Surfing’ EP. 

UK based Four Candles has risen the ranks in a short time with stand-out releases for Bedrock, Balance Music, Selador, and his own Keep Thinking imprint. A DJ at heart, his sets ooze emotion and melody, making him the go-to DJ of choice. Equally, Kabi (AR) has made his mark with gusto. Releases for everyone from Soundteller to Anjunadeep show his diversity. This is an exciting pairing that thrives on creative, emotion-led storytelling. 

Opening with ‘Sofa Surfing’, we are invited into their deep, vibey world with rubbery bass and expansive pads. Evolving over time, the melodic layers ebb and flow, creating a rich sonic tapestry of warmth and inclusion. On the flipside, ‘Need U’ begins in a similar fashion: vibey bass, warm synth stabs and sparse percussion. With storytelling at its heart, the melodics soar midway. A sensational partnership in the making for sure.

Victor Ruiz has been riding high on the crest of a wave with remixing Luzon - Baguio Track to great acclaim, to appearing on Herblut, Electric Ballroom and Sprout.

D-Nox again is causing a major fuss with his productions (both solo and working with studio partner Beckers) on Suara, Tronic and his own Sprout imprint to name just a few, and the D-Nox & Beckers remix of Quivver riding high in the Beatport techno charts as we speak.

Lets start with ‘Arise'. The beautiful blend of tinkling light arps and big phat bass sounds combine beautifully. Some tracks just come along and cause major devastation, and this is one of those!Press play, listen, and smile!

'Music' (feat. Beckers & Alex Stein) is a solid gem, where the emotive vibes flow lusciously, while the bass wraps you up like a comforting blanket of sound. This is a melodic gem and a half!

Rounding things off nicely, we find 'In Between'. This skippy beat laden moodier affair still oozes melodies and fuses the darker side with the light. Hot stuff!

Israeli rising star Khen returns to Sudbeat, after his recent appearances on microCastle, Lost & Found and Plattenbank. This young promise is causing a fuss with his devastating productions, and delivers two gems here for your listening pleasure.

'Never Lose Your Innocence' is full of groove with its sultry bassline paving the way, shrouded in warm pads, cool percussion and nice fx that gel wonderfully as this builds and the arpeggiator develops before unexpectedly changes key, delivering added warmth and lifts the track again. This accomplished gem oozes quality and it’s a real winner.

'Bustan' picks up the energy levels as this dreamlike powerhouse goes hell for leather! The bassline frantically paves the way, while its lushness wraps around your mind, delivering a fantastical effect. Solid stuff!
